About this map

Meteor City and Dennison serve as the primary landmarks in this portion of the northern Arizona high desert, situated along a busy transportation corridor. The landscape is defined by its arid geography, where water management is critical for ranching operations. Numerous man-made water catchments, such as Beacon Tank, Bull Tank, and Pitchfork Tank, are scattered across the terrain to support local livestock. The presence of Red Gap Ranch Rd and the localized path of Dennison T I indicate the infrastructure supporting remote ranching life. To the north, the terrain is cut by Cow Canyon, a natural drainage feature that contrasts with the developed transit lines cutting horizontally across the township. This survey captures a moment in the modern era where historic names like Dennison persist alongside the vital, small-scale water infrastructure necessary for survival in Coconino County.
